Industrial Quotes

We have only one alternative: either to build a functioning industrial society or see freedom itself disappear in anarchy and tyranny Picture Quote #1

Millions of citizens are deeply disturbed that the military industrial complex too often shapes national policy, but they do not want to be considered unpatriotic Picture Quote #1

No matter what we call it, poison is still poison, death is still death, and industrial civilization is still causing the greatest mass extinction in the history of the planet Picture Quote #1

The global industrial economy is the engine for massive environmental degradation and massive human (and nonhuman) impoverishment Picture Quote #1

As in the past, the costs and risks of the coming phases of the industrial economy were to be socialized, with eventual profits privatized Picture Quote #1

So I want to thank the Pentagon, the Soviet Union and the military industrial complex from the bottom of my heart. Without them, I could never have become the man I am today Picture Quote #1

This war, in its inception was a commercial and industrial war. It was not a political war Picture Quote #1

There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with Picture Quote #1

My wife and I, unlike many intellectuals, spent five years working on assembly lines. We came to fully understand the criticisms of the industrial age, in which you are an appendage of a machine that sets the pace Picture Quote #1

The American people from bitter experience have a rightful fear that great business units might be used to dominate our industrial life and by illegal and unethical practices destroy equality of opportunity Picture Quote #1

People are ready to say, 'Yes, we are ready for single payer health insurance.' We are the only industrialized country in the world that does not have national health insurance. We are the richest in wealth and the poorest in health of all the industrial nations Picture Quote #1

The opening of a foreign trade, by making them acquainted with new objects, or tempting them by the easier acquisition of things which they had not previously thought attainable, sometimes works a sort of industrial revolution in a country whose resources were previously undeveloped for want of energy and ambition in the people: inducing those who were satisfied with scanty comforts and little work, to work harder for the gratification of their new tastes, and even to save, and accumulate capital, for the still more complete satisfaction of those tastes at a future time Picture Quote #1

The individual serves the industrial system not by supplying it with savings and the resulting capital; he serves it by consuming it's products Picture Quote #1

She is a reflection of comfortable middle-class values that do not take seriously the continuing unemployment. What I particularly regret is that she does not take seriously the intellectual decline. Having given up the Empire and the mass production of industrial goods, Britain's future lay in it's scientific and artistic pre-eminence. Mrs Thatcher will be long remembered for the damage she has done Picture Quote #1

Partly, the Russian system succeeds because, in contrast to the Western industrial economies, it makes full use of it's manpower Picture Quote #1

Money is what fueled the industrial society. But in the informational society, the fuel, the power, is knowledge. One has now come to see a new class structure divided by those who have information and those who must function out of ignorance. This new class has it's power not from money, not from land, but from knowledge Picture Quote #1

There is an insistent tendency among serious social scientists to think of any institution which features rhymed and singing commercials, intense and lachrymose voices urging highly improbable enjoyment, caricatures of the human esophagus in normal and impaired operation, and which hints implausibly at opportunities for antiseptic seduction as inherently trivial. This is a great mistake. The industrial system is profoundly dependent on commercial television and could not exist in it's present form without it Picture Quote #1

In developing our industrial strategy for the period ahead, we have the benefit of much experience. Almost everything has been tried at least once Picture Quote #1

Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum Picture Quote #1

For example, lead paint in old houses can be a greater threat to children’s health than lead that may be under some industrial site where there are no children Picture Quote #1

Men who accomplish great things in the industrial world are the ones who have faith in the money producing power of ideas Picture Quote #1

Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It’s the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe Picture Quote #1

Socialism appeals to better classes and has far more strength. Attack the state and you excite feelings of loyalty even among the disaffected classes; but attack the industrial system and appeal to the state, and you may have loyalty in your favor Picture Quote #1

A man may be a tough, concentrated, successful moneymaker and never contribute to his country anything more than a horrible example. A manager may be tough and practical, squeezing out, while the going is good, the last ounce of profit and dividend, and may leave behind him an exhausted industry and a legacy of industrial hatred. A tough manager may never look outside his own factory walls or be conscious of his partnership in a wider world. I often wonder what strange cud such men sit chewing when their working days are over, and the accumulating riches of the mind have eluded them Picture Quote #1

I think the human race made a big mistake at the beginning of the industrial revolution, we leaped for the mechanical things, people need the use of their hands to feel creative Picture Quote #1

To one who believes that really good industrial conditions are the hope for a machine civilization, nothing is more heartening than to watch conference methods and education replacing police methods Picture Quote #1

The industrial revolution has tended to produce everywhere great urban masses that seem to be increasingly careless of ethical standards Picture Quote #1

Industrial opportunities are going to stem more from the biological sciences than from chemistry and physics. I see biology as being the greatest area of scientific breakthroughs in the next generation Picture Quote #1

We now have an opportunity, though, to do something we didn’t do in the industrial age, and that is to get a leg up on this, to bring the public in quickly, to have an informed debate Picture Quote #1

The labour movement had the best opportunity in 50 years to transform not merely an industrial situation and win an important battle for workers in struggle, but an opportunity to change the government of the day Picture Quote #1
